Water system maintenance to begin in May
The method of water treatment for Pinellas County and its wholesale customers will be temporarily modified between Sunday, May 16, and Saturday, June 5. The first of two short-term changes from chloramine to chlorine disinfection in 2021 is a routine maintenance measure designed to optimize water quality.
Those that will benefit from this program include Pinellas County Utilities water customers, as well as customers in the cities of Clearwater, Pinellas Park and Safety Harbor.
The disinfection program is designed to maintain distribution system water quality and minimize the potential for any future problems. There have been no indications of significant bacteriological contamination problems in the system. The water will continue to meet all federal and state standards for safe drinking water.
